37 year old with Fat Transfer to Breasts! - Grand Rapids, MI

Australia Fragoso Baez, MD i plan to see her in july check my reveiw out

I'm seeing Dr. Dennis Hammond, in Grand Rapids.

I have rescheduled because of nerves. The initial appointment was scheduled for early September, then rescheduled for December to "hold my spot" while I put more thought into it. Then I cancelled that and didn't reschedule. Then in January I decided it was something I really did want and I'm not going to let my fears of dying under general anesthesia and leaving my children motherless stop me! My doctor reassured me that they haven't lost a patient yet!! I have always been ambivalent about ever having any plastic surgery procedures, I'm sure that has played a role into my decision process as well! I have a supportive husband and people in place to take care of the kids for one full week, not that there is ever an easy time when you have kids! My dr said that it will depend on the space within the breast and how much fat I have to harvest, I'm hoping for 500ccs per breast, that way if 50% Survives I can potentially have a full cup size increase when it's all done.

Totally understandable. I've seen women contemplate surgery for over 10+ years. It's a tough decision when you're focused on your children. I have faith you'll be fine during the anesthesia. Sounds like you even have help with the kiddos the first few days post op. The only thing that stumps me a bit is that I can't really see any love handles on you! ;)

It will depend on how much fat can be harvested, but I'm hoping 500ccs per breast, so if 50% stays I can have one full cup increase. Thank you!

I guess I just normalized it...I told myself 1000's of people do it every day and they are fine so I will be fine too. It helped that my sister worked at the office and new the anesthesiologist and knew he did a great job. I was still extremely nervous the day of. I know some doctors offer an anti anxiety meds for some people to help, but I didn't take anything.

Thank you! I think this procedure is fantastic! I would have never gotten implants, I just don't like the idea of a foreign object in my body, even though I know they are safe. This is such a great option, and a two for one special, to get all the stubborn fat out and put it where you want it!! I love my lipo areas too, can't wait to share a whole picture!

I agree --- lipo and breasts ------ perfect

Thanks! My breast are horribly bruised now, the pic I posted was during the procedure. I'll try to get lipo pics up in the next couple of days. Super woozy yesterday when I took the compression garments off and didn't want to do lipo pics. I started tapering the narcotics today, hopefully I will be off them in the next day or two.

Yea --- i bet they are really really bruised -- hang in there!!

Hang in there it does get better slowly but surely though. Remember to get a little excercise for blood flow like walking in a store nothing big. I remember the lipo really wiped me out and makes you dizzy.

Thanks, I've been walking around the house, but get dizzy. I wonder how much of that is related to the pain meds. I've been searching to see how long until my breasts soften and the bruising starts to heal, but in looking that up online I realize it's going to be a long time!

Yes and the anestesia too has to come out of your system yet. Mine started to soften about after a month. I had 250 put in each side. They felt lije rocks after but O had implants removed too at same time. You will prob do better since you had less trama.

It's nice to have a goal, I can wait a month! They feel like they are engorged from breast feeding!
